Riya Arora Recently, a lovely reader of my blogs suggested me to spell out a few styling tips for people who are tall and skinny. Tall and Skinny ! Wow, most people would give anything to have that sort of body type!  The one thing you need to do is to simply dress to accentuate your two biggest blessings, your stature and slenderness .

To make it simpler, let us take an example:do you remember, during your school days when you got low grades in some subjects while scoring great in others, and how very cleverly you presented the great ones before the 'not so good' ones to your family while breaking your academic result to them so as t...

Wrists, ear lobes and neck, you name it, and it can adorn it all, leaving a statement vibe in the room.
